General immigration strategy for a Canadian...

I'm with a company that has filed for a Green card for me. I was on a couple of TN visas and have used up my H1B visas. I'm now applying for one of the 1 year H1B extensions for people who have a Green card in process. My priority date is in May of last year.

The job I have only had a 3 year work experience requirement though, so I'm in the EB2 category. In other words, this is still going to take forever before I'm portable to another employer...or at least I think it will.

Does anyone have any idea as to when I'm portable? At that stage, can I start my own company or am I still required to go to another company? What would happen if this job had requirements for someone in an EB2 category? Would that speed things up?

Am I better off leaving for a different company that will sponsor me for an EB2 based job?

I've been in the country for what seems like forever and I'm sick of dealing with all of this. Anyone have any ideas?
